Your to-do list isn’t the problem. Your house isn’t the problem. Motherhood isn’t the problem.

The problem is that you’re not on your own list.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I went from feeling like I was drowning in motherhood… to finally having the margin to breathe again. From workouts and skincare to fresh juice, long walks, and books—I’ve built a life that includes me, not just everyone else.

And the best part? You can do this too.

I’m walking you through what I let go of, what I prioritized, and the exact systems that made this transformation possible—so you can start showing up for yourself without guilt.

xoxo, Chelsi Jo

If your house feels like a mess, your head feels like a mess—and nothing gets done. That’s exactly why I have a quick tidy routine that I run through every morning before I start my workday. These four spaces are the key to keeping my home calm and my brain focused while I juggle homeschooling, cooking, and running my business from home.

In this episode, I’m walking you through: – The four exact places I tidy every morning (and why they matter) – How to reset your home without spending all day cleaning – The one thing I do before every work block to signal “go time” for my brain – What to do if you only have time to tidy one space (this alone can shift everything)

You don’t need a spotless home to be productive—but you do need a system that keeps things from spiraling into chaos. This quick tidy routine will give you the clarity and calm you’ve been craving.

Listen to EP 497 for help with meal planning: "Back To School Meal Planning for Lunchboxes, Workouts, and Family Dinners"

Your meals matter just as much as your kids’ do—especially when you're juggling fitness goals, school routines, and work all at once. In today’s episode, I’m walking you through how I planned out my entire school-year meal system, starting with my own needs and building out from there.

We’ll talk about how to: – Set up a weekly meal plan that fuels your body and protects your time – Adapt your dinners to the realities of your new school schedule – Get your kids involved in lunchbox planning (and actually finish the grocery list for you!)

This is the system that keeps our fridge stocked, our meals on track, and our family routines running strong—even when the calendar feels full.

Let’s dive in and get your meal plans working for you this school year.
